- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the adjustment device with the first locking element and the second locking element and including an enlarged detail;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the adjustment device with the first locking element and the second locking element and including an enlarged detail;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an adjustment device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention both in a blocking situation and an adjustment situation;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional side view of the adjustment device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

- the second locking element 22 driven by the adapter plate 23 , can be displaced in a lifting direction H parallel to the axis of rotation 100 , wherein a corresponding lifting movement brings about a tilting movement K of the second locking element 22 , and said tilting movement in turn leads to the form-fitting and/or force-fitting connection between the first locking element 21 and the second locking element 22 being cancelled.
- the unlocking element 35 and the actuating means 36 are configured in such a manner that the movement of the second locking element 22 in the actuator region 60 leads to a tilting, by means of which the first locking element 21 disengages in the unlocking region 50 , and in particular is arranged outside the recesses of the second locking element.
- the second locking element 22 is preferably designed as a web-shaped blocking spring, wherein the second locking element 22 is fastened via a fastening means 34 to the housing 33 in a fixed position, in particular in a fixed relative position to the adjustment device 1 .

- the rotary element 2 is mounted rotatably about the axis of rotation 100 .
- the adapter plate 23 is mounted rotatably both relative to the housing 33 and to the rotary element 2 .
- the adapter plate 23 is provided in such a manner that, by rotation of the adapter plate 23 , the unlocking element 35 is acted upon with force by the actuating means 36 and therefore the second locking element 22 is displaced along the lifting direction H.
- the toothed structure 30 disengages and an adjustment of the adjustment device 1 is possible.
- the second locking element 22 preferably undertakes a tilting movement K here during the transition.
- the housing 33 preferably has a blocking element 55 , and therefore the possible adjustment distance of the second locking element 22 is limited by the corresponding blocking element of the housing 3 , and therefore the actuating means 36 does not pass out of contact with the second locking means 22 .
- the housing has a further spring means, in particular a spiral spring, which is provided for returning the adapter plate 23 into its original position.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a sectional view of the adjustment device 1 from FIG. 2 .
- the second locking element 22 takes up a blocking position in the blocking situation and a secondary position in the adjustment situation, wherein the secondary position is inclined in relation to the primary position.
- the second locking element 22 is inclined here in such a manner that the second locking element 22 is raised in the secondary position in relation to the primary position by an unlocking height a in the unlocking region 50 and by a lifting height b in the actuator region 60 .
- a corresponding lifting height b is required in the actuator region 60 .
- the lifting height b is defined by the height of the unlocking element 35 and of the actuating means 36 on the adapter plate 23 on which the second locking element 22 rests in the blocking situation.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an adjustment device 1 according to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 4 shows the adjustment device 1 in the blocking situation on the left side and in the adjustment situation on the right side.
- FIG. 5 illustrates, in a side view and a sectional view, the adjustment device 1 in the adjustment situation.
- the preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention differs from the adjustment device 1 from FIGS. 1 to 3 by the position of the actuator region 60 . It is provided here that a distance d between the fastening means 34 and the actuator region 60 is smaller than a distance c between the fastening means 34 and the unlocking region 50 .
- the actuator region 60 is arranged in such a manner that, in the blocking position, the lifting height b is smaller than the unlocking height a. It can thereby be brought about that an unlocking distance which has to be covered by the adapter plate 23 for the transfer of the second locking element 22 can be shortened. Finally, the reduction in the lifting height b has the effect that, in order to reach the secondary position, the second locking element 22 has to overcome a lower height in order to realize the unlocking in the unlocking region 50 .
- the configuration with a lifting height which is lower than the unlocking height permits a higher unlocking height to be realized without a lengthening of the unlocking distance of the adapter plate 23 being required.
